HTC Vive is a line of virtual and mixed-reality headsets produced by HTC Corporation. The brand currently encompasses headsets designed for use with personal computers as well as standalone headsets such as the Vive Focus line, Vive Flow glasses, and the Vive Elite XR mixed reality headset. The first-generation Vive was announced in 2015, as part of a collaboration with video game studio and distributor Valve Corporation and implementing its VR software and hardware platform Steam VR; the first-generation consumer model was released in April 2016. It has since been succeeded by newer models with upgraded specifications. HTC has also released accessories that integrate with the Vive and SteamVR, including sensors for motion capture and facial capture. Since 2021, HTC has targeted the Vive line towards the business and enterprise markets, moving away from the consumer market.
